Geschlechtsspezifisches Dialogverhalten in den Artusepen Hartmanns ...

Social gender was already playing a central role in the Middle Ages, especially in normative texts. This volume applies its own pragmalinguistic analytical method to Hartmann von Aue’s Erec and Iwein in order to examine how patterns of "ideal" masculinity and femininity are reflected in courtly literature and where these ideas and norms are deliberately transgressed.
